a,b, A peptide amphiphile solution coloured with trypan blue injected into phosphate-buffered saline after heat treatment. c, The same solution dragged through a thin layer of aqueous CaCl2 to form a noodle-like string. d, A knot made with peptide amphiphile string. e, Birefringence of a bubble gel observed between cross polars suggesting the presence of macroscopically aligned domains. f, Similar domains in a gel film. g, Peptide amphiphile noodle spirals prepared on a spin coater. h, Birefringence of a single string suggesting alignment along the string axis. i, Light extinction between cross polars at the crosspoint of two noodles demonstrating uniform alignment in each.

Venter is a motherfucker! Opss..sorry.
Craig Venter, Hamilton Smith, Claire Fraser, and colleagues at TIGR elucidate the first complete genome sequence of a microorganism - Haemophilus influenzae Rd. Since that time, the genome sequences of many important human pathogens, such as M. tuberculosis, Treponema pallidum, Campylobacter jejuni, Helicobacter pylori, Vibrio cholerae, and Legionella pneumophila have been determined.
